7-27-10 Progressive Field

I had an awful day at Progressive Field.

It started at 3PM with early batting practice. Nick Pelescak, Happy Youngster and I took 10 minute shifts watching our bags while the other two were outside of the home run porch gate – trying to get a ball.No balls would even make it out, despite a good 40 minute or so session.

To make matter worse, at 4:30, I went to look for balls in the trees at Heritage Park, but it was closed for some private party.STATISTICS:Game: 1 balls (1 device)Season: 337 balls (173 hit, 75 thrown, 36 device, 44 found)Games: 53 gamesAverage: 6.36 balls per game2010 Game Balls: 5Career: 915 ballsStreak: 149 consecutive games attended with at least 1 ball snagged.Attendance: 27,416
